did you add this entry in in share-config-custom.xml?

Yes, I added this. The file looks like this:


<alfresco-config>

  <config evaluator="aspect" condition="kb:shortable">
    <forms>
      <form>
        <field-visibility>
          <show id="kb:shorturl" for-mode="view"/>
        </field-visibility>
      </form>
    </forms>
  </config>

  <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="DocumentLibrary">
    <aspects>
        <visible>
            <aspect name="kb:shortable" />
        </visible>
    </aspects>
  </config>

</alfresco-config>

However, Alfresco share seems to ignore that file, even though it is correctly named <i>share-config-custom.xml</i>.
